Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 January 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Homelessness (A8 Nationals).

Homelessness (A8 Nationals)

The Minister is right about the generality of A8 nationals who are coming here, but many homelessness cases involve older men in their 30s or 40s with a limited knowledge of English. Typically, they come from eastern Poland or rural of Lithuania, but they come to Britain under false pretences—not their pretence, but the false advertising and the marketing documents that are sold to them. Not only the young are involved; some of those in real difficult in my constituency are middle aged.
